Voip Pal Com Inc (VPLM)

Hmmm…very interesting. Apple found to have infringed on someone’s patent again. Now how can that be when they’ve invented everything and are such an honest company?

Could the Subscriber Unit built into their phones be similar or compared to a Caller ID in the VPLM patents?????

Apple, Inc. v. Wi-LAN Inc.
Court: US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Docket: 20-2011
Opinion Date: February 4, 2022
Judge: Kimberly Ann Moore
Areas of Law: Intellectual Property, Patents

Wi-LAN’s 145 patent is directed to allocating bandwidth in a wireless communication system. The 757 patent, while unrelated to the 145 patent, is directed to a similar subject matter and purports to improve signal quality and offer greater error protection in data transmission using a modulation scheme. The district court found that Apple infringed claims in the patents and that those claims had not been proven invalid and awarded Wi-LAN $85.23 million in damages. The Federal Circuit affirmed in part, upholding the district court’s claim construction of subscriber unit as a “module that receives [uplink] bandwidth from a base station, and allocates the bandwidth across its user connections.” Substantial evidence supports the jury’s finding that the accused iPhones contain a subscriber unit as sold. Reversing in part, the court held that the district court abused its discretion in denying Apple’s motion for a new trial on damages.
